Product Design
Project Tomorrow Status
Abstract
Describes testing, current products and other approaches to fire safe cigarettes. Testing on Marlboro and Winston smokers revealed that they found the prototype cigarettes lower in acceptability. Models for both Parliament and Benson and Hedges found models with normal citrate gave reduced mass burn rates but increased tar and puff counts. Other approaches will include putting DAP on filler, putting IS in blend and putting phosphate paper on low density rods. Plans for the rest of 1988 are also laid out.

POL Tests
(a) Phase I (POL 3566): Marlboro smokers rated Phase I'candidate lower
in acceptability (p <.0I5) : N'SD among Winston smokers
(b) Phase II (POL 3567): Test released for shipment 1l6/8'8
(c) Phase III (POL 3568'): Both Marlboro and Winston smokers rated
Phase III candidate'lower in acceptability
Current Products (D. Sealey)
(,a) Parliament KS: Models with normal citrate gave reduced MBR (163'to
58), increased FTC tar (9.2' to 10A) and PC (17.8' to 8.5)
(b) B&H Deluxe UL: Models with normal citrate gave reduced MBR (61 to
5I8)1,~ slightly~ increased FTC tar~ (',4A to~ 5.2)! and PC! (&.9 to 9.~3')~
(c) Merit 100's: Models to be made at MC with normal citrate
Other Approaches
